Why im not in Moriya's Discord server yet? A little serious history Topic.

[NetsumuNico7]

So uh... hello again, that's your favorite user in the Moriya Shrine, and im here to tell you how i got into the Shrine! It will be a little bit... serious compared to other topics who i already did and didn't go well BUT that's not the point of it, I will gonna to tell you a long history on how it is hard to me on going into A discord server and having not a good moment... So no more talking around, let's start!

1.- HOW IT STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE?

One day where i was already a little casual touhou player i decided to go into my first Discord Touhou themed server, to share my stuff. I really like to talk with people in general, so that's why i like a lot seeing Forums. A friend invited me first into a Spanish 2hu server known as "Ideologia inversa" (Reverse Ideology) as far i remember, however it wasn't that good, i just... dont like how the people were like, and i wasn't adapting well into it; what's more, i was actually nerveous to go into a new server, nerves me so much that so many times I think im gonna have a bad time!
But over all, I just... go away and search another server, maybe I have better luck? Adapting was definitively my weak point. So i was gonna to try harder!

2.- The new (and unexpected fail) start!

When everything of this was happening, i need to talk the context of how i was felling at the time. In short, i decided to left my beloved Bomberman community for a unexpected time, i was not having a nice moment at it, i was also on the Lemmings Community for a short time, it was fine but i decided to left, because i was felling not good for long. And most importantly, IT WAS THE TERRIBLE 2022, the worst year i had so far and i was definitively no happy, terrible school, really bad in house problems, you get it. My only way i was happy is chating in the widest world of the Internet! So aprox. March of 2022 i have oficially entered into 2 Touhou servers, a spanish and an english one. The english one was Touhou Game Jams, and it was... well, if you are really into the shrine, i had already shared this story before in another topic! So check the A Jam experience, i thinking on returning on 2hu GameJams. in derivative works in the Forums.
Now back to this, im here to talk about the Spanish one!, which I know more but not that much because i wan't forget it , but it was my chance to know more people who talk my same lenguage...

Now here is were things start to get complicated, so after this line of sentence, everything will be a little... disappointment for me.

I prefer not to mention the name of this server and the user who controled it, so for start i was starting to go into the same story as before... No get used to the users of the server, but i still was having faith, the guy had a really nice channel for streams, not the videos because it was just memes. But then the server got a raid, and they created another one, because of this, the user, the owner of this new server, GAVE ME ADMINISTRATION!, all because it promised me to do Fumos and a collaborative dinamic for this server, and it was gonna to be INCREDIBLE! I only remember the friends i finally got, and now i don't talk to them anymore, i still respect them. I also remember abusing my power on one single user because... it was spaming some shitty comments, i stoped to do that because some users started to hate me and decided to take it more calmly. Man i even remember now i did some stuff with that user, Like a pixel art of his OC. However all happiness was starting to collapse...
I remember VERY WELL this, it was few days after my birthday, i got my PC back because my charger was broken (already say that on A Jam experience, i thinking on returning on 2hu GameJams.) I was a perfectly fine day eating the rests of the cake they did for my Birthday, and then one of the users of that server DM me, i check it out and...

TO BE CONTI... Nah not felling good for doing this joke. NOW HERE IS THE HARSH PART.



3.- The time I definitebly lost my faith.
 

I saw that video... The user i was following since March of 2022, was on a controversy outside Discord, in short. He was with a relationship with a girl, while she was already well aged, the user i was following me was at his 17 in that time, yep.... basically that. And he did some stupid things in twitter, and in that video i was in as an accomplice! Now, that last thing i said, make me the decision to secretly avoid him forever, Thanks to my help, the group of antis of that user Raid again the new server... that server that they promised me to be good... I... was... destroyed mentally. And there was my cruel reality IRL too. The group of antis which I was in, wanted to go more further, they want to DOX him... and here is were i decided to leave. At the same time, also leaved of Touhou Game Jam server, not only because the things i said in A Jam experience, i thinking on returning on 2hu GameJams. But also due this cruelty of all of the stuff i just already tell... So... I was back to my old home, The Bomberman community i was in, the reason i get into Discord in a first place...                 

I call it...
A falied attempt on going well into a Touhou community.
....


4.- Can Kochiya Sanae recover my faith?



A day of September of 2023, a new year, so many changes in my life, i decided to go into another route, so after a long walk in the montains, i managed to fall into the Moriya Shrine, I just discovered that this place there was a Forum for some reason so, i got interested on it and.... Here i am! But then i just fell this place a little inactive, so i just saw that there was a Discord server, I was like... Oh the bad memories are coming back! So the future of this depends of my Bravery... and really know that this place is for everyone who like to chat like me! And not getting stuck on the old aged Forum format.

I will take a decision if you awnser this question, Is the server GOOD? Can i be relevant in a way? (not that much but likeable person) No so many wierdos? (i mean, there is no way there is not at least some kind of people) Wish this can be awnsered.


Wow you got into the final of the Reply!, Or just skipped all of this into the end, No matter what. I really aprecciate and thank you for reading all of this! This is my longest so far, so i really be thankful for the awnsers and reactions!

Fixed some typos. I mean, have expected that for me.

i was in the discord for a while trust me you are not missing out. site isnt that bad but, and no offense to the admins or whatever but its absolutely abysmal in the discord

[NetsumuNico7]

Welp, considering everything i lived, It is just a shame, well if it way detailed maybe, i could think better. Seriously, I'm a bit of a restrictive when it comes on entering every server i just discover, it mostly ends with a "NO". All because... i just want to a problem like THAT (you know what problems) happen again.
For now, still on Forums earning more faith.

Anyways, Thank you for reading most of it!

-Why i just reply an unfinished reply-

[d34thkvm]

well idk much about there being discord grooming and e-kittens and whatnot, i'd even go so far as to say thats not overly likely. theyre also rather lax on rules. my problem is that possibly in part due to that laxness it is completely full of people, seriously or otherwise, expressing viewpoints that quite frankly piss me the hell off. perhaps you might not find it quite so troublesome as i did upon further consideration

[NetsumuNico7]

So i decided to stay for now here, this is definitively the best Touhou site i can found for chatting and reading. I really don't like being on a very popular environment, not just the wierdos, i can't adapt myself into a group with so many people talking about... specially when they just talking some shit nonsence, or i just interrupt a conversation without my intentions to do so. It's so hard, those problems happens on every franchise fandom i was in. I didn't tried to go on Twitter/X, because i didn't want to risk myself into a even more toxic groups with just fights for nothing really special.

My opinions are clear, the Moriya Shrine Forums is the safest place to chat with anyone, no toxicity and really interesting topics to share.

And of course, Fangames! Wish i get some friends, and get better luck on my Topics, but for now im pretty comfortable, and that's what matters.

@NetsumuNico7

Like you, I prefer the forum format as it gives me a bit more time to think my response through (and leaves my sillier comments out there to simmer for better or worse lol)

Maybe "Discord Servers" are simply not your thing rather than the servers themselves having issues or not, though it does sound like you haven't had the best time in them so far, I can see why you'd be hesitant.

As to the Discord Channel itself for Moriya, I joined it mostly to get answers regarding an obnoxious bug/crash in Touhou Lotus Labyrinth R as it was recommended/encouraged to go there for questions involving games. If you're curious to know if it's a right fit or not for you, then my advice is to join it and give it a shot, at the very least to 'lurk and observe' it before jumping in. Everyone has individual needs and I think the best way to know if it's for you is to just get into it.

Hope this helps you somehow!

Forums kick discords butt 24/7 but unfortunately we are nothing more than a minority that sees this. I use discord but i know better than to actively post on a public touhou discord server

[Yumetou]

The Forums and Discord are two different things to me. I enjoy forums for serious talk and cozy vibes. I enjoy Discord to shit-post and drop pictures of Satori smoking in chat to annoy whiny lolicons. Its a good time if you don't take it seriously, but very different to what I enjoy about the forums, and if you know me on both, you might not recognize me.

 

That said, Discord is also good for game groups. My attempts at a Touhou game on the forums fell flat, but maybe I'll have an easier time there.

 

Discord is also great for getting embroiled in stupid drama which makes everyone look bad. So there's that too.

The DC server SUCKS, it's run by a shadow cabal of elites who want to suppress free speech. I got banned for sexually harassing an admin in #debate.

I've been avoiding the discord due to the weird, disconnected feeling I get when joining servers. I feel no matter what I do in discords I never really feel apart of the community. Might just me being accustomed to forums but I've heard other people voice the same grievances. 

[nitorii]

y'all join servers to talk to people? I just join to get emotes
